If you play football for a school without “North” in the name, it’s been a rough go of things early in Player of the Week fan polls on The Times’ Friday Night Live app.

Northwood receiver Trayon Jones hauled in 10 passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns in Friday night’s demolition of North DeSoto, and then defeated seven other candidates to capture (Week 4) Player of the Week honors.

Every Player of the Week winner (including the Preseason Player of the Week) qualifies for Player of the Year ballot at the end of the 2017 season. Jones will join teammate Luke Bogan (Week 1) and a pair of North DeSoto players (Maguire Parker, Preseason; Aubrey Scott, Week 3) and Loyola receiver John Williams (Week 2) on the year-end ballot.

The (Week 5) Player of the Week ballot will be available Sunday through Thursday (at noon) on Friday Night Live, The Times’ innovative app that also includes live scoring from every high school football game, Prep Fantasy Football, team pages and a stream of stories, pictures and updates.
